Dev Malhotra's Pov

"Take him to the basement and you know how to treat him" i said while gritting my teeth. 

"Rest assured. I will take care of  that Tej" he said with an eveil smirk. Then we both entered my cabin. Nishma was already there. 

"Dev, who is going to do the presentation?" she asked me. I looked at Sameer. 

"Aasha will do the presentation" i said casually.

"Thats great, Dev" Sameer said with a smile. 

"What? Why you.. " i cut her off. 

"Its final and its my decision" i said coldly. I looked at the time. Why Aasha is not here yet? Thinking this i opened my cabin door to look for her. But she was already stood in front of my cabin. I asked her to come inside. She was shocked when i said that she is the who is going to do the presentation. Nishma left my cabin with her red face. I didn't even paid attention to her. My attention was fully on my Aashu. Sameer also wished her. Then he looked at me. I nodded at him. He also nodded at me then left my cabin. I went near Aashu. 

"Don't worry. I will be there with you" i said while tucking a stray strand of her hair. She looks really worn out.

"Its already 12.45 pm. We have to be there before 2 pm. Come" saying this i dragged her to the bedroom. Me, Sameer, Ramesh and Nishma knows about this bedroom. And now my Aasha also know about this room.

She looked at here and there taking the details of this room. 

"Here" i handed her a paper bag which contains her dress and toiletries. She looked at me confused. Then i said to her that i asked Neha to pack her a set of cloth and her toiletries in a bag and i sent Daniel to collect the bag. When i said this she looked quiet taken a back. Then she nodded at me. I showed her the washroom. I took my cloths and I left the room after reassuring that no one will enter this room and i will take shower in my cabin washroom. 

Once i finished my shower, i wore my black suit under a royal blue shirt. Then i checked the time its already 1.00 pm. I went to the bedroom to check Aasha got ready or not. But to my surprise she is fully ready. The room is fully filled with her scent. She is wearing a royal blue salwar. I didn't check the bag which was given by Neha as i didn't want to invade in her personal things. So i didn't know that Neha packed this colour salwar. Its purely coincidence that i am also wearing a same colour shirt as her's. Only her hair is wet. Otherwise she is fully ready. She looked at me with her wide eyes. 

"You..you also we..wearing sh..shirt sa..same colour as mine" she stuttered while looking here and there. Her face turned red. Oh..wait! She thinks that i checked her bag. 

"No. No. Its just a coincidence. I didn't checked your bag" i said with a chuckle. She relaxed after hearing my words.  

"Why your hair is wet? You will catch cold in this weather" i said and went in the closet to get a hair dryer. I came out with a hair dryer.

"Sit on the bed" i said while plugging the hair dryer. 

"No. It will get dry soon. We have to leave now. Its already time" she said, checking her watch. 

"Its not late. Come and sit here" i making her sit on the bed. I was about to on the hair dryer but she stopped me. 

"What are you doing, sir? I can do it by myself" she said and tried to grab the dryer. I stopped her. 

"Can't you sit silently? Always stubborn. Don't think that i forget about how you ignored me in this days. I will punish you for ignoring me in these days after handling this meeting" i said sternly. Her face went pale and she looked down. I kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose lovingly with a smile. She bite her lips. 

"Stop biting your lips. Otherwise i will lose my control" i said huskily. Her face turned red and she immediately stopped biting her lips. I chuckled at her. Then i used the hair dryer to dry her hair. Her hair is so soft, silky and long. Its also smelled so sweet. I also massaged her hair softly. She yawned with her closed eyes. I switched off the hair dryer and placed it on the bedside table and i sat beside her. 

"You can sleep after this meeting, Okay?" i asked her, cupping her face. 

"Okay" she said, looking down. 

"Are you nervous about the presentation?" i asked her with a frown. 

"There will be a lot of companies  going to present themselves. If i do any small mistake, then we will lose this deal. And i…i usually will get very nervous in front of new people. I am afraid what if i do some mistakes because of my nervousness. Already because of my carelessness we almost lost the deal. I don't want that to happen again. Why don't we ask Ramesh to do the presentation? He has a lot of experience and he also knows very well about this project" she said in her honey like soft voice. I sighed looking at her. 

"You can't learn anything without doing any mistakes. You don't have to be afraid of doing any mistakes. You're free to make mistakes. Because i will be there to handle everything, okay? And about your nervousness….while doing the presentation just look at me, Okay?" i asked her. She looked at me with her innocent eyes.

"Okay" she said with a sigh. 

"And it was not your mistake that the pen drive was stolen. You were careful with the pen drive. You even locked your cabin door with your key. So don't think like it all happened just because of you" i said while patting her head. 

"Okay, sir" she said with a smile. Rocky, Riya, Shreya and others said All the best to Aashu and me. Then we both left the office building.  Daniel was already waiting for us. When he saw us, he greeted us. He opened the car door for me and Aashu. Then he sat in his driver seat and handed me a paper bag which contains Veg burger with chocolate milkshake.

"Come eat this" i said, giving her the paper bag. She looked at the paper bag with a confused face. 

"Its our lunch. Burger and chocolate milkshake. We didn't had any lunch yet. The meeting will take atleast three hours. So we need energy" i said with a smile. 

"Oh okay" she said and took the burger from me. Then we both started to munch the burger. I looked at her face. I remembered the first day when i saw her in the park and how she was enjoying that burger. Today also she is munching the burger just like that day. I chuckled mentally. 

"Aashu" i called her. She looked at me while chewing mouth full of burger.

"Remember one thing, fifteen companies is going to participate in this meeting. And among the one is the one who has our project. So he must be thinking that Malhotra indutry will not be participate in this meeting. But he didn't know that we prepared a new project by working a whole night. And he also must be thinking that for losing the pen drive i would have fired my PA that means you. So he will be shocked, when he meet us. So he will try to provoke us. But we should not show any expression on our face like we didn't lost any project. Just maintain a calm expression. When doing the presentation, you have to be confident. If anyone asked any provoking question, don't get afraid. I will take care of them. I will be there with you and i trust you, Only you. Got it" i asked her softly.

"Okay. Thank you for trusting me. I won't let you down. I will to my best, sir" she said confidently.

"Good" i said wiping her mouth with my hanky. She looked at me shyly. I kissed her on her forehead. She looked down with a shy smile. Soon the car came to a halt. I checked the time. Its 1.45 pm.

"Stay in the car, Aashu" i said. She nodded at me with a smile. Daniel opened the door for me. Ramesh came to me once he found me coming out of the car. 

"Mr. Kashyap is also here with his PA for the meeting, sir" Ramesh said hastily. 

"Now where is he?" i asked him.

"I saw him in the first floor, sir" he said.

"Okay now i will go inside. You take Aasha to the meeting hall without his notice" i said in my stern voice. 

"Okay, sir" he said. 

"Then i went near Aashu's door. Now i will go inside the building. Few minutes later Ramesh will take you to the meeting hall" i said softly.

"But.. " she hesitated.

"Don't worry and don't be nervous, okay?" i asked her. 

"Okay" she said. Then i walked towards the building after giving a nod to Ramesh. While i walking towards the elevator my eyes fell on the person who is wearing a shocking look on his face. 

"As expected" i smirked mentally.

I entered inside the elavator. He also entered inside the elevator. Then i pressed the button for the floor where the meeting is going to taken place. 

"Mr. Dev Malhotra, I heard you're not participating in this meeting as your PA leaked your project details to someone. Then what are you doing here? Are you here to witness how i am going to win this deal?" he asked me with a smirk. I looked at him with the same smirk.

"Are you sure that you can win this deal?" I asked him with an evil smile. 

"Of course" he said with a shrugg. 

"So much confidence, i guess" i said with a chuckle.

"All thanks to your PA. She gave me all information and also your project presentation to me through my men. So of course i am damn sure i will win this deal. You must have prepared a last minute cheap presentation for this meeting just to save your reputation, right?" he said with an evil smile. Soon the elavator door opened.

"Then all the best Mr. Atharv Kashyap" saying this i left the elvator to the meeting hall.

Once i entered the meeting hall everyone greeted me with their shaky voice. I gave them all a curt nod and sat on the empty seat. Ramesh and Aasha was not here yet. That basdard sat opposite to me with his PA. He kept smirking at me. A few minutes later Ramesh and Aashu entered the meeting hall. That bastard Atharv Kashyap's face turned red when he saw Aashu sat beside me. Ramesh sat beside Aashu. I looked at Aashu. She also looked at me with a smile. Then she started to arrange her laptop and other things. I looked at that Kashyap who is fuming in rage. 

"Is everything alright, Mr. Kashyap. Why your face looks like you have ate some spicy chilly?" i asked him with a smirk. 

"Nothing i am fine" he said while gritting his teeth. I smirked at him. Soon the meeting started. Everyone started to present their presentation.
